That depends on the material in the cup.

One cup of water weighs about 8 oz., so 12 cups of water would weigh around 96 oz., or about 6 lbs.

One cup of sifted flour weighs on average 4 oz., so 12 cups of sifted flour would weigh about 48 oz., or only 3 lbs.

The problem here is that there are two definitions of the word 'ounce': the dry ounce (used for scales) which equals 1/16 of a pound, and the fluid ounce (used in measuring cups), which is the volume - not the weight - of one ounce of water. You can't directly compare weight with volume, unless you specify the material being measured.

It depends on the size of the carrots. On average, one medium carrot weighs about 0.1 pounds. So, 12 medium carrots would weigh approximately 1.2 pounds.
